Weird...
I'm on a cable modem, behind two routers. The second one hands me an IP via
DHCP. Our cable modem IP is static.
I've got no problem getting my mail (nor do any of the other 5 computers
here) from my server.
3 of the machines are only behind one (the first) router.
I'm in the DMZ.  (If that makes a difference. It certainly does to Napster!
<wink>)

The only connection I see in the logs is when I hit my only IMAP box, and in
the logs it shows up as my external static IP.
The other boxes here getting their mail POP don't show up at all.
